Celebrate our great state on WA Day on Monday, 7 June 2021. 

Minnawarra Park is set to be transformed into fair grounds as part of the City of Armadale’s WA Day plans.

Commencing from 4pm on WA Day, the City is putting on a family friendly, smoke and alcohol free event with performances by local and guest artists, amongst a variety of other activities for all ages. 

A selection of cuisines will be available for purchase from food vans.

Heading into the evening, and commencing at 6pm, a fireworks extravaganza will light up the night sky.

Mayor Ruth Butterfield said “Even though it was disappointing that the City’s usual Australia Day event couldn’t go ahead as planned earlier this year, we are excited to be able to bring you WA Day fireworks instead.” 

“The fireworks were originally purchased for use on Australia Day and were non-refundable. Unfortunately fireworks have a ‘use by date’ which meant they couldn’t be stored until next year.  Council felt it was important not to waste the fireworks and using them at a WA Day celebration is a win for our community.”

“WA Day is our opportunity to celebrate all that we have and all that we enjoy about living in Western Australia.  I encourage everyone to come down to Minnawarra Park, or find another suitable vantage point and enjoy the spectacular fireworks display.”

This is a large event with a number of road closures, so we recommend planning ahead to avoid delays.  For more information visit www.armadale.wa.gov.au or the City’s Facebook page.

Date: Monday, 7 June 2021
Time: 4-7.30pm
Venue: Minnawarra Park, Corner Orchard Avenue and Armadale Road, Armadale
